This house is mine but the men they say is not You see this house is the only thing I've got Running 'round they work so hard and fast But they don't know my house is built to last Here comes a man, in a van And he's looking very angry at me They're knocking nails into walls upon my walls They run and hide as the old grey ceiling falls Eagerly they gather in my shed They've gone for now, so I can ease my head Here comes a man, in a van And he's looking very angry at me They're knocking nails into my house They're knocking nails into my house They work so hard, all is left is my front room There goes a wall, oh I think I spoke too soon Here comes a man, in a van And he's looking very angry at me They're knocking nails into my house They're knocking nails into my house They're knocking nails into my house
